Tamiya Vought F4U-1D Corsair 1/48

Tamiya 1/48 F4U-1A "Birdcage" Corsair
Having only ever built mostly revell, and one academy, Corsairs, I never realized the quality I was missing out on with the kits from Tamiya. So when my chance at christmas came to get one as a gift, I was more than happy to build it. And [...]
Tamiya F4U-1A Corsair, 1/48. The Big Hog.
I thought I'd finally get around to posting this Corsair I built last year, making it so all my Corsairs are uploaded here in one form or another. This model in particular taught me a lot and I am planning on basically remaking it (but as [...]
